Lightbulb Factory rear turn signal bulbs vs. LED amber bulbs

If I replaced the factory rear turn signal bulbs in my '97 Sentra GXE with LED amber bulbs (or am I supposed to use clear ones?), would there be any noticeable difference? I like how some of the newer luxury cars use LED bulbs and they flash seemingly "instantly" without the gradual dimming/brightening in between flashes with regular bulbs - would I be able to get this same effect if I switched my bulbs, or is it a bit more complicated than that? Any other advantages/disadvantages of LEDs?

LED's are supposed to last longer because they use less power

and as long as u use the right size they will fit.....the lights will blink fast too

Cool.

And okay, I'm assuming for the rear turn signals, you use white LED bulbs on my car and not amber ones, since I'm looking at the back of a '97 Sentra now on eBay and noticed that the lenses are already amber. Brain fart

amber would work, if u get white, they probably wont light up bright enough, i have red ones in my rear, then i smoked the tails, so when they flash, they flash red instead of amber

I would think that white would be brighter than amber through an amber lens?
